After a couple of poor efforts while dealing with a torn thumb ligament and subsequent surgery, Ryan worked his FitzMagic on Sunday at MetLife Stadium. He threw for 277 yards, had a season-high four touchdown passes and did not turn the ball over. Fitzpatrick chipped in five rushes for 21 yards, giving him 29 fantasy points in standard-scoring leagues, his highest output of the season. The only other time this season Fitzpatrick had at least 20 points was against Washington in Week 6, when he put up 25. Honorable mention to Jarvis Landry, who was a PPR monster.

The Dolphins inexplicably failed to get Lamar Miller enough touches for the second consecutive week. Miami did fall behind and an emphasis on passing is understandable, but Miller saw just five carries all game, rushing for 2 yards. He added three catches for 11 yards to put up one point in standard-scoring leagues. Meanwhile, Ryan Tannehill attempted 58 passes against the Jets. Miller had just seven carries against the Cowboys last week. The Dolphins' own website published an article Friday with five keys to beating the Jets. No. 1 on that list was "A heavy dose of Lamar Miller." Maybe that's why they were pasted by the Jets.

Roberts hadn't caught more than three passes in a game all season and had one double-digit fantasy performance, which came back in Week 3. He tore up Tennessee on Sunday, posting career-highs across the board with six catches (on seven targets) for 113 yards and two touchdowns, giving him 23 points in standard-scoring leagues. Roberts was third on the team in targets behind Amari Cooper (12) and Michael Crabtree (eight). Roberts hadn't seen more than four targets since that Week 3 game against the Browns, but he's worth watching down the stretch.
